Canon announces a special promotional offering for SOHOs this Christmas season, with up to 33 percent discounts on thermal film, plain paper bubblejet and laser fax machines and printer-copier-scanner AIOs until December 31, 2006.

Improved productivity and cost savings in the long term for SOHOs now come with Canon’s reliable suite of total business solutions.

For home office and personal use, Canon’s thermal transfer fax technology, TR177, can be relied upon. The compact fax machine is ideal for low volumes of fax traffic and provides desktop convenience with high quality and dependable traditional fax functionality (from the original SRP of PhP 6,290 to a discounted price of PhP4,995).

Canon’s bubblejet fax, on the other hand, makes for flawless faxing performance at an affordable price.  The B820/B822 has a high capacity fax memory, unique voice recognition dialing and ease of use complemented by Canon’s renowned Bubble Jet printing quality.  Made possible by Canon's unique UCanTalk® technology, the voice recognition dialing feature increases ease and efficiency by allowing user to pre–program the names of people that they send faxes to most often. Sending out a fax becomes as simple as pushing one button and saying their name. (From original SRP of PhP 7,995 to PhP 6,450)

Canon’s large fax, L220, with a super G3 or 33.6kbps modem gives fast fax transmissions at 3 seconds per page. The fax machine comes with a large fax memory capacity of 350 pages, allowing one-touch operation button for speed dialing, group dialing and copying around the clock. Incoming faxes are also automatically collated for easy reading. The machine is also a space-saver with a unique U-paper path design, which directs incoming faxes to print out from the top instead of the front (from the original SRP of PhP22, 995 to PhP15,995).

The Canon L295 makes the right choice for your direct business communication needs. The machine uses Canon's patented Ultra High Quality (UHQ) image processing system to deliver enhanced laser quality printouts in superior 600x600dpi resolution. It also features a Photo Mode that works to capture and reproduce images accurately, down to the tiniest detail. Aside from features similar to that of L220, the L295 has a printer driver, which can also be used as a backup printer, connected to your PC by USB port. This way, you get the same sharp laser prints outs from your PC as you do from incoming faxes. Both cost and space efficient, this dual feature is the ultimate in office versatility (from original SRP of PhP 25,550 to PhP 17,950).

Meantime, the Canon L380 sets the standard for superb print and fax quality with a super G3 feature like the L220.  Multiple faxes can be received without blocking the line, saving even more time. If your paper or toner runs out during the evening or weekend, a large 510-page* memory safely stores all incoming documents for printing out afterwards. Also, large documents can be scanned rapidly - just 2 seconds per page – and then sent from memory. Transmitting detailed documents (such as diagrams or photos combined with text) with a perfect finish through Canon's unique UHQ™ technology (from the original SRP of PhP 42,000 to PhP28,950), precision is assured.

The imageClass series models are workhorse all-in-ones that boost business efficiency for SOHOs.  Canon imageCLASS MF5750 and MF5770 are laser printer, fax, color scanner and copier - complete with built-in network printing - in one cost-saving unit. Both models will drive small and medium sized businesses’ to new levels of efficiency.

The imageCLASS MF5750/MF5770 prints at a super quick 20 pages per minute, and you can start printing straight away, as there is virtually no warm-up time with Canon's On-Demand Fixing technology. They also come with a USB 2.0 Hi-Speed interface to speed up data transfer. Most important of all, Canon’s Advanced Raster Printing System (CARPS) technology that’s built with Canon laser multifunctional range, allows the use of PC’s memory to process large data before it’s sent to the device to print. This surely saves you money and trouble from upgrading the RAM when the need comes.

The color scanner uses CCD technology to produce high-resolution 1200 x 2400 dpi images, and offers all the features you would expect, including scanning to PDF or e-mail and increased scanning depth of 48/24 bits for greater color accuracy. During cartridge replacement, you are essentially making your machine as good as new. All of the devices essential parts are contained in the toner cartridge, which can be quickly and easily removed, so the need for machine servicing is essentially eliminated (from the original SRPs of PhP 28,900 to PhP 19,950 for the MF5750; PhP 38,900 to PhP 26,950 for the MF5770; and PhP 72,500 to PhP 49,950 for the MF8180C).
